farm-yard

— The place deserves it, Bertram. You talk of giving it the air of a gentleman’s residence. That will be done, by the removal of the farm-yard, for independent of that terrible nuisance, I never saw a house of the kind which had in itself so much the air of a gentleman’s residence, so much the look of a something above a mere Parsonage House, above the expenditure of a few hundreds a year.
